Nate Silver calls Virginia Senate race a "pickup opportunity" for Republicans
Friends, since Tim announced that he will seek re-election to the U.S. Senate next year, our team has been busy mapping out the foundation for a strong re-election campaign.
Here are some of the reasons why:
Virginia remains a battleground state, plain and simple. In fact, Nate Silver's FiveThirtyEight called Tim's race a "pickup opportunity" for Republicans.
Virginia has a Republican governor in power, and we know that the GOP and special interest groups will be setting their sights on growing their foothold in VA this cycle.
GOP Senate hopefuls have already announced that they’re planning to challenge Tim Kaine in 2024.
And finally, Tim’s election coincides with the next presidential election, which means it’s even more important that we persuade and turn out as many Democrats as we possibly can.
Building up our resources in key moments like this allows Tim to make strategic choices about his campaign, from opening offices to hiring organizers on the ground.
